NEC Expands M Series With Two Short Throw Models

SINGAPORE - NEC announced today its M Short Throw Series digital projectors with the 3000-lumen M300XS and M300WS. Accommodating standard and widescreen needs, M Short Throw Series projectors deliver strong images to screens and whiteboards (including interactive) from less than 3.6 feet away.

Ideal for standard-sized classrooms and corporate conference rooms with limited AV space, the M300XS and M300WS short throw models are portable projectors that offer unique features like a virtually maintenance-free filter and 0.47:1 throw ratio for easier installation on a wall above the screen or whiteboard. Replacing the NP610S and NP510WS projectors, the eco-conscious features in the M Short Throw Series include ECO Mode technology for extended lamp life, quick start (3 to 4 seconds), auto power on via the RGB input connector and direct power-off with no cooling required after shutdown.

The M300XS and M300WS include the following features:

Short throw distance of 1.8 to 3.6 feet
3,000 lumens in XGA and WXGA native resolutions, respectively
Lamp life up to 5,000 hours
HDMI, dual computer, S video, video and USB inputs
USB Viewer allows users to present without the use of a computer by displaying images stored as .jpg from an optional USB memory
Virtual Remote Tools (DDC/CI) allows users to control the projector directly from a computer without the need for additional control cables
Variable audio-out to connect the projector to an external speaker and control the volume with the projector’s remote control
Wireless transmission of an image to the projector without the need for external components is achieved using Image Express Lite
10-watt speaker

ECO Mode allows for multiple settings dependent upon the brightness required in the application and power savings desired by the user
Carbon savings meter calculates the positive effects of operating the projector in ECO Mode, which is encouraged by an optional message at startup
